Pen?
I've been wondering if you guys have thought about adding a pen tool that would allow you to write or maybe type directly on to entities. This would be helpful for games like clue and the 27th passenger where you need to jot down details on a tracker sheet without that information being available to the other users. And yes I know that the notepad is a thing but this seems like a less than ideal way of handling it.

Is the "private" notepad stuff only your colour sees? If so, that is the ideal usage for your options. Though a pen is not a bad idea.

Honestly, I think we need to have a larger notepad for putting things down, maybe even have it so it can be multiple pages.

I'm pretty sure that is what the private notepad is yes. But no it is not ideal. It is not ideal because if playing clue/27th passenger rather than having a neatly organized table to help you track information you have a manually ordered list of words. You see what I mean?

So you want to be able to have tables as well. I like that idea. The notepad size is also definitely too small.

I was just thinking if they could make the existing pen tools work on entities instead of on the grid or aswell as. Then we could make cards to act as the deduction pages. The notepad that exists in my opinion is sufficient enough if we just get a few more things for in environment like an interactive book object and a pen tool capable of drawing on objects.

If they had books, then they should introduce a color-locking option; only that color can interact with that object. Would be very useful.

Probably would also be convenient and cool to be able to lock objects together as well, like locking a house of cards together so you can rotate them as if they were a single entity.
Another idea would be to allow your color to show or display a given page to another color or all other players. That way, for games like Clue: The Great Museum Caper, you can "prove" you weren't cheating for things like recording where your thief moves.
